They lived on the island until driven off by Jean Laffitte's pirates in 1820. The island was actually "discovered" in 1528 by an European explorer and crew which was shipwrecked and captured for 6 years by the Indians. In 1785, the Spanish came back and named it Galvez after the viceroy of Mexico, Count Bernardo de Galvez. Leffite held the island as a haven for crime and called it Campeche. In 1821 the U.S. Government drove the pirate and group away.
